Stemming from the recent attack in Paris, from the Front Page Sections, translated…
In the recent attack in France, there would be a deeper misunderstanding of a certain religion in the minds of Europeans, along with the fears as well as the denigrations toward a certain religious group. And still, Luc Besson, the namely French director posted a public opinion, and blamed the behaviors on a certain religion, and stated that because there’s this lack of equality at the start, that, was why the children of immigrants are discriminated against, and borderlined, that, was why this tragedy had, occurred.
Luc Besson pointed out the origin of this tragedy: “Since the start, you’d done an inventory of the world you live in, what, does this world look like? This is a world, build on money, separation, and discrimination.”
He’d also, pointed out the unfair treatments of the second generation immigrants, “I’m calling out to the big bosses, the leaders, to help these young people who had been insulted, they just wanted to, blend into the world, but you just, don’t give them a chance to.”
He’d further posed the solution, “Why not leave a fairer world for them? This will also, make your children proud. How, to change this world? Use your pens, and NOT your AK47s! The influence of the pen is, mightier than the sword.”
He was talking about just France; but the sad thing is, that it can also be, applied, to Taiwan too, a world that made the children of the migrated individual feel abandoned in. Before you start blaming the young Muslim youths for going on a shooting rampage, why not ask ourselves: did we, give these newly immigrated children, a pen first, so they can, speak up and out, and change this world of injustice and unfairness? Or, did our mind already, fill up with the stereotypes of what they should be, that these kids are, bound to do worse in school, and in the workforce already? And, taken away their sense of pride, their chances of, making a difference in this world too?
One less school now, that would be, one more prison system later; if we can hand these kids a pen today, then, we may be able to, reduce what Taiwan would have to pay, for this injustice in the future. Today, we cry, for the attacks on France; tomorrow, hopefully, we can be thankful, for our precognitions!
So, we can learn, a LOT, from this recent attack, and apply it, to our own societies, can’t we? After all, everything that’s happening now, is a tip of the iceberg, there are, bigger problems, but, most of the time, we’re all, trapped, by our own lives to see the BIG picture, and when we finally see the BIG picture, it’s too late, to make that needed change!
